Fenton, Peter2019
Book
'The shark was pale, shiny grey and quite magnificent. Hypnotised by the creature's eyes, like large back discs, he was hardly aware of other people gathering tightly around him.' In 1978, 12 year old Toby heads to the coast on a longed-for summer holiday. Almost invisible to his newly-wed father and step-mum, Toby is left on his own, until he meets Tara, the daughter of the local shark fisherman, who is dealing with family issues of her own. A terrifying incident on the old wharf begins a dramatic chain of events within the small coastal town - revealing secrets and creating ripples through both Toby's and Tara's families.A lyrical novel of friendship, the joys of childhood, facing truths, the trials of growing up . . . and the days of in between.
